Bounty system

[Diomedes]

You know, at first I didn't like it but then I realized the idea could have some merit. Of course, this should be regulated by ID and not just a reward for any ship killed so it doesn't encourage people to shoot everything on sight. Or if it could be regulated by reputation where credits are only gained by shooting targets hostile on your rep sheet (generic IDs?).

The idea here is that this could take the place of "missing income" for people who play Navy/Police/Whatever faction that doesn't have a good stream of income like traders or to a lesser degree pirates do.

Should definitely NOT apply to killing players however. The little blue message is too much encouragement for some as it is, and we have the forum Bounty Board for that.
